Exercise Intensity Trial (EXCITE): A Randomized Trial Comparing the Effects of Linear Versus Nonlinear Aerobic Training in Women With Operable Breast Cancer
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Linear Aerobic Training, Nonlinear Aerobic Training, and 3 other interventions for Breast Cancer. Completed, enrolled 174 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of 3 different approaches to exercise training in women with early stage breast cancer who have completed all primary treatments (except hormone therapy, if appropriate). Prior research in women with early stage breast cancer has shown that some treatments may have an adverse impact on physical fitness levels leading to feelings of fatigue and poor quality of life. Supervised exercise training has been shown to reduce some of these side-effects. However, all the exercise programs have followed essentially the same approach. This study is designed to see if a different approach to exercise training is more effective than the conventional approach currently in use.

Timeline
Interventions
The 130-180 minutes/week will be achieved via either 3 to 4 individual aerobic training sessions at approximately 10 to 50 minutes per/session (± 10 minutes).
The 130-180 minutes/week will be achieved via 3 to 4 individual aerobic training sessions at approximately 10 to 50 minutes/ per session (+/- 10 minutes).
All sessions are required to be supervised. Duration of the stretching sessions is prescribed and implemented in accordance with standard stretching and flexibility training principles. This approach will be applied to guide each participant's prescribed stretching plan, with dose and scheduling modifications made by exercise physiologists, as required.
